Both horses are same quality and have a chance of having better foals, but that means the foal has to be better than normal foals to be left intact. There is always a level of chance.

Exceptional Producers are 5% better Breeders than the best that a regular foundation can be. Top foals from an ExPro x ExPro pairing will be better than anything you could breed from a regular foundation cross. But breeding 2 ExPros still gives you the same possible range of breeding and showing abilities of any cross--in that the foal may be much worse than, a little worse than, roughly the same as, a little better than, or much better than their parents. As a result, just like in every other breeding, some foals will be snipped by basic testing.

Its frustrating, but that's the way it goes. Putting mares in pastures to gain the show bonus and breeding them to stallions with similar breeding ability is the only way to increase your chances of intact foals, but even then you will get some that get snipped. Remember the HJ mantra--there's Always Next Season!!!

And thanks @Cheers

Don't feel bad this season has been by far the worst for me since I have been playing I can't get foals I'm totally in love with. Last year and they year before I got 15 foals each season that were my favorite but this year sadly nothing I like but hey there is always next year :D
